For the past 15 years, it has been my pleasure to provide the worldwide water sport community with WakeScout, your resource to discover all the places in the world where you can get on the water to enjoy your favorite water sport.
I have made the decision to join you and travel the world, visiting WakeScout entities around the globe and shred incredible water in idyllic locations.
Over the next few months, I hope to transition the site to a new ownership team. If you or your organization has an interest in carrying on the vision in support of our worldwide water sport community, please feel free to reach out.
Thanks very much for your tremendous support of WakeScout!
ReviewI am a 34 year old Cypriot living in Cyprus. Waterskiing is my favourite sport and I learnt to ski in the sea, and I have always wanted to improve and take my skills to a higher level. After I discovered the Cyprus Water Ski Federation, I was extremely excited that we had lake type slalom ski facilities. I enthusiastically contacted the Federation and expressed my interest in skiing in the dam with them. Unforunately, they are neither friendly or particularly helpful. They first told me that I need to get an official health certificate, which is understandable. Once I got that done I tried to ski with them for a period of 2 years, calling both before and during their skiing season to schedule a time for a session, only to be told "we are sorry but we do not have time for anyone else to ski", and they basically focus only on the younger generation (which is understandable - to a point) and their already existing athletes. Not a very good way to attract new clientele or maintain a good reputation. When I DID manage to go there once, the Cyprus mens champion was also there (incidentally the son of the President of the Federation) and he threw a comment that "this place is not a sea watersports centre", hinting I should not be there! The others that were present and clearly regulars were also not friendly. This is not how a stranger or beginner should be treated in any place. The boat driver, Maxim, is great and I felt that he has much to offer, but unfortunately is part of this bad Federation. Conclusion: Horrible place, horrible people. Whenever I have time I now travel abroad with other friends who love the sport to slalom ski in foreign lakes, despite having one that is a 30 minute drive from home! NOT RECOMMENDED.
